RP Thread - Hogsmeade Attack

2 February Attack

parties involved
death eaters/order/ministry/media

2 February; it's been a quiet, almost dull Saturday. Hogwarts students were through the weekend before and their wild excitment leaves a peaceful town its wake. Shoppers shop, drunks drink, and clerks clerk with a cheerful sort of idleness. It is unfortunate that upon this day, an historical message will be sent to those who would seek to oppose the purist agenda: we will be heard.

Today marks the first attack in the history of the war upon wizarding civilians.

Today marks the true beginning of fear and terror in wizarding Britain.

I. The Beginning; an explosion and murder

Involved parties: Death Eaters, civilians

[4.30 pm] Without warning, a blue explosion will shake Hogsmeade; in a flight of fancy, civilians may think the ghost of the shrieking shack has finally made his escape, but no - it is not the dead we must worry about but the living. Soon after the explosion rips open the Ministry's magistrate office, cloaked figures will appear from the smoke, and it is more than obvious they have no interest in giving terms. They will set upon the magistrate; murder and destruction will quickly follow.

Your part to play:

Bellatrix, Alecto, and Regulus should coordinate their efforts in this attack;

Civilians, if played, may feel free to run and scream and be afraid;

Order members, if present, should notify the organization and begin to move in.

II. The Action; an explosion and battle

Involved parties: Death Eaters, Order of the Phoenix

[4.45 pm] As civilians run amok and abandon their houses to gawk at the unbelievable action, another explosion tears apart a section of Screechsnap Avenue and a nearby (empty) business. Several people are injured and the explosion and those at the center of the explosion are killed. The order of the phoenix arrives and sets upon the destructive Death Eaters, and a violent battle ensues between the opposing forces. One civilian is caught in the cross-fire and killed.

Your part to play:

Death eaters will continue to wreak havoc and battle the Order;

Order members will arrive and do battle against the DEs. Those Order members attached to the ministry should also notify Rufus Scrimgeour of what is going on;

Aurors will receive the news and coordinate rapidly via journals

III. The Resolution; reinforcements and retreat

Involved parties: Death eaters, Order of the Phoenix, Ministry

[5.00 pm] Aurors appear on the scene and begin kicking ass alongside their illegal vigilante friends (who have enough brains to disappear or pretend they were there by happenstance lest their identities become completely public knowledge). Death Eaters, having accomplished what they'd desired to accomplish and having no interest in fighting a large number of do-gooders, disapparate back into the blue mist of their destruction.

Your part to play:

Death Eaters should fight the good fight and then get the heck out of dodge;

Order members should make some efforts not to make it obvious they are part of a secret organization

Aurors should do their battle and keep a somewhat blind eye to the Order, if it is in their disposition to do so .

IV. The Epilogue; investigations and answers

Involved parties: Ministry

[5.15 pm] Civilians are angry, scared, and there is death and destruction everywhere. The aurors are one part of several departments that is involved in investigation and cleanup. It's obvious that the Death Eaters were responsible for this mess but how and why? How can it be prevented again and what can the Auror department offer to the public in way of reassurance?

Your part to play:

Aurors should investigate, cleanup, take notes, and attempt to be diplomatic

V. Supplements;

Hogsmeade attack locations:

Damage and casualties:

1 house destroyed;

4 houses, 1 empty business lot, and the magistrate's office damaged;

sixteen injured (in explosions and crossfire);

five dead (including the magistrate);

more TBA (feel free to offer up names, relatives, etc)

VI. Procedure;

	"Of course," he automatically replied, raising his wand to his brow in salute before he gave his attention to Edgar again. The man's attitude rankled him. He snarled beneath his mask, an Unforgiveable on the tip of his tongue. " ... I suggest that you back away most carefully and start evacuating people before I take great pleasure in making your skin fry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Scarcely managing a Shield Charm in time, Regulus avoided the ropes and snapped back to attention; his focus was once again on the enemy, and the insult of both Edgar's patronizing words and his throw-away binding attack only managed to incense Regulus even more. He was not going to spend his first mission tied up, and it seemed that Bones was just a little more cocky than Regulus could settle for. He was a Black, and he was not going to mess this one up.

Deftly (and with far more grace than he had managed since Edgar had appeared on the scene) Regulus moved to the other side of Edgar, slightly off center so as to not complicate anything Evan would cast opposite of him. Without wasting time -- a mistake he had already made more times than he would have liked -- he shot the same rope-binding hex back at Edgar, waiting to see if it would connect as the beginnings of a snarl formed on his face.

	Regulus bristled as Bones brushed him off yet again, but he held his tongue, determined to remain poised. Instead he turned the majority of his attention to the second man who had arrived on the scene. Lifting his wand -- and sparing only the briefest of glances to Edgar -- Regulus took a step back and shot an immobilizing spell toward Frank. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
